While I'm not trying to compete in anyway with Spacepet (which I'm personally very excited about).
If you are looking to get something printed in the short term, try www.shapeways.com
they are fairly well priced and the strong flexible product is very good.

I did a bit of 3d printing at uni two years ago using a variety of different printers.
It is way too expensive to be practical, unfortunately. It's cool to mess around with though!

wasnt sure if people in here would be interested in 3D printing. Ive been interested in it for a good few years. The machine Im looking at is the PP3DP UP! printer from china, although Ill be buying mine from a reseller in Au or nz.
the printer gives very good detail and a relatively smooth finish so it is quite impressive, and it recently halved in price. it uses plastic to make things/parts [same stuff lego is made of].
it is also cool that you can use an xbox kinect as a 3d scanner, with software to scan people and then print them.
intent to use this at school [primary] too.
